What is a Data Fiduciary?
A Data Fiduciary is an entity that determines the purpose and means of processing personal data—typically the business collecting customer or employee data.
Processors act on instructions; joint arrangements require clear accountability.
Data Fiduciaries owe notice, security, grievance, and rights-handling duties directly to data principals.
